We now have several places lined up for people to stay this year

• The Days Inn in Sturgis has given us a rate of $75/ night. Call them at 605-347-3027. Ask for the Air Rally rate.
• The Holiday Inn Express has given us a rate of $85/night, down from $125 normally. The number for the Holiday Inn Express is: (605) 347-4140. Ask for the Air Rally rate.
• The newest option this year is really pretty neat. Jack's Campers in Piedmont, SD will deliver and set up a camper for you on site. This puts you, literally, a few yards from the runway. He has 27 ft and 29 ft campers available. The 27 ft sleeps six. Call 605-787-9010. Ask for Jamie. If you had several in your party and wanted to share expenses, this might be real winner.
• The Buffalo Chip, once again, has some camping cabins available for rent. You can see what they are like on their website at www.buffalochip.com or call them at 605-347-9000.
  

2009 Air Rally Plans

The plans for the 2009 Air Rally are firming up. The site will be laid out as it was last year with 2 grass runways. There will, once again, be a $10 landing fee. The landing fee and the other prices listed on the web site will not change.

The raffle this year wil have at least two prizes. One prize has already been donated -- a Coverite Gee Bee Sportster with an O.S. .46 and servos.

We have had lots of early interest and already have a few registrations.
